Today I want to share with you a brief conversation I’ve just had with our Chief Investment Strategist Tim Staermose.

Aside from being a really, really sharp investor in the model of
Warren Buffett, Tim is easily one of the most interesting people I know…
and you’ll find out why. As an Australian citizen and Hong Kong
permanent resident living in the Philippines, he exudes the multiple
flags lifestyle. International diversification is in his DNA.

Over the last few days, our daily conversations have focused on
thinking differently. The old rules of the game no longer apply… and
that doubles for investing.

Socking away your savings in some S&P index fund for 20-years is
no longer the path to prosperity. And Tim sheds some valuable light
about some places to look, places to avoid, and what he’s doing with his
own money– it’s called the 4th Pillar System.
